In the 1990s, attempts were made to reintroduce bladderwrack. Specimens were brought and immersed near the Orłowski Cliff, one of the few places on the Polish coast with a rocky bottom, necessary for fucus to anchor itself to the substrate. These attempts were unsuccessful. According to researchers from the Institute of Oceanology of the Polish Academy of Sciences, the best thing that can currently be done for fucus is to leave it alone.
